It's no secret DS school and I do not get on. They aren't adaptive to DS needs but would rather he fit into their idea of what should happen.
I've applied for EHCP and got turned down for assessment - appeal has been sent in.
LA do their own non statutory version of needs document. DSes has been updated but school are still insisting he does Sen stuff after school on the basis they are inclusive
One of the things is DS has 30 minutes spelling/reading comprehension support a week delivered by trained staff member. When she's been busy on his slot he's been asked to do it after school. They've also said DS will have literacy packs sent home during holidays. I've got them to agree no curriculum homework during holidays then.
Personally I don't think he should have to do it but I know it's because they have to 'win' this imagined fight they have with me and will say as I made such a fuss about DS having the support I shouldn't be stopping him iyswim?
I will add its not just fuss - DS was having daily wave 3 interventions before and made little progress so my view was he needed different input but at same level to close the increased gap. They tried to say being 3.5 years behind in literacy and spelling etc isn't an issue.
What they sent home took DS 30-60 minutes a day in Easter holidays.
Now this half term is 7 weeks so he'll get 3.5 hours support. So technically I'm expected to deliver 50% of his support - yet I'm not trained.
I have no intention of fighting school but feel this should be something to consider with EHCP assessment appeal. Either DS needs more support than school can provide or funds available for me to be trained to same level as school staff to deliver it at home.
So should I email the head of Sen who is my caseworker and simply ask her to make arrangements for me to attend a course to deliver these interventions? I've no doubt she'll ignore me. She's not responded to the email I resend every 2 weeks asking her what is next as the IPA they said will work isn't and they don't feel DS needs an EHCP.
I just think having the email would be beneficial to me in the long run - or is it likely they'll use it as another attempt to say the issue isn't DS needs but my disagreements with school about what he needs?
(IMO if school are sending it home they are saying he needs it)
